My invention relates to improvements in conveying mechanism and more particularly has reference to such mechanism in a machine for making papertrays or boxes, having reference -to means in combination withk said machine for conveying away the formed boxes orV trays for stacking, packing, counting, and other purposes.

In the accompanying drawing I have .illustrated in Fig. 1 in perspective, parts being broken away, parts of a boxjmaking ina-- chine embodying an application of my invention; Fig. 2 is an end'viewof a box'in the guides, and Fig. 3 is an end view partly in section illustrating the conveyor.

2 indicates the frame of thel machine and 3 a tray formed therein and ready to be fed leftwardly out of the machine. At opposite sides of the vformedtray and beneath the forming plunger not shown are pivotally mounted guides as 5 5. Each of these guides is pivotally mounted upon a shaft 6 having a lever 7 pivotally connected at 8 to one end of a rod 9 which is pivoted at opposite end to a rod 10 pivoted at 11, and at the opposite end of the rod 10 is pivotally mounted a verticalrod 12, the lower end-of which is pivotally mounted to the lever 13 Y which ris pivotally mounted at 14 to the with a roller 15 riding upon the c'a-m 16 so that as the shaft` 17 rotates, the guides 5--5 approach and recede from the path of the from each other.

frame of the machine, and which is provided These guides when in their guiding position are in effect continuations of the 'rails 20-20 which continue to guide the tray as it leaves the machine, and for the. purpose of carrying the tray along leftwardly be! tween the guides, endless chains 21 are provided which FUSS OVGI the Sprockets 22, 23 i 1.
